Today, in the presence of Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi the Third FUFA Vice President, it has been agreed that Express matches that had been affected will be rescheduled.
The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has lifted the suspension on matches involving Express FC.
The decision followed a Friday meeting between the FUFA Executive Committee and the members of the Uganda Football Referees Association (UFRA) along with the FUFA Referees Standing Committee (FRSC) at FUFA House, Mengo.
"The FUFA Executive Committee has lifted the suspension on Express FC matches," a FUFA statement confirmed.
Express matches had been suspended after UFRA filed a complaint on the safety of referees on various playgrounds and stadia.
The UFRA stand came after suspected Express fans had beaten assistant referee Fahad Sekayuba after their one-all draw with UPDF FC about a fortnight back.
